This site on June 5th, a reporter investigation found that in addition to affecting the skin health of the foot, the ankle affects the patient's mental and social activities. â– Debris from patients with hand, foot, and foot falls is a vector.
Surveys show that more than 30% of adults in our country are susceptible to dyeing in the summer. Professor Wang Wanju, director of the Department of Dermatology at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University, said that the warm and moist environment provided conditions for the growth and reproduction of fungi. The sweat glands in the foot are more developed, and the sweat soaked in footwear and socks are not easy to evaporate. The local temperature is high and the fungus is easy to multiply. Breeding, if you do not often wash feet or sweat, it is more likely to cause the growth and reproduction of fungi.
The fungus has strong vitality and can survive long in the -6°C environment and will not die within 10 minutes at 120°C. Wang Meifang, director of the Department of Dermatology at the Shaanxi Provincial People's Hospital, said, "In fact, normal and healthy people have fungi in their bodies. In dry conditions, the fungus does not cause diseases. When the fungal growth and reproduction conditions are moist and warm, it will stimulate the activity of the bacteria. The fungus has strong moisture resistance and heat resistance, and the fungus can survive and maintain its toxicity more than one year after leaving the living body with hair, nails, and dander. The dandruff shedding from the tinea pedis patient is the vector." Do not apply sores only around the ointment
Wang Meifang said that athletes commonly known as athlete's foot, Hong Kong's feet, easy to relapse. From the long-term clinical treatment effect, treatment of athlete's foot for a course of treatment to about 4 weeks. This is because after the fungus is killed, there will be some residual fungi, and the new skin tissue will take at least 4 weeks to grow. If the fungus has just been killed, it is stopped and it is easy to parasitize on the new skin tissue, leading to recurrence. Symptoms persist after 2-3 weeks of symptoms disappear. For older beriberi like keratinocyte hyperplasia, treatment time should be lengthened. In severe cases, oral antibiotics should be taken under the guidance of a doctor.
There are many types of tinea pedis, and patients can only rely on the introduction on the drug's manual when purchasing their own medicines and can't tell what kind of tinea pedis they belong to. The medicines that do not have symptoms can not only alleviate the disease but also cause contact dermatitis and other problems. Dr. Liu Le, a dermatologist at the Shaanxi Institute of Endemic Diseases, said: “Common tinea pedis are divided into three categories: erosive type between the toes, type of vesicles often found in the feet, and hyperkeratosis in the foot of the heel. Patients should first go to the hospital for a checkup to diagnose the type of athlete's foot, doctors recommend suitable drugs, and most of the medicines purchased by the drugstore are compound drugs containing steroids, the inhibitory effect of steroids is more obvious, although the symptoms can be temporarily alleviated. , but it will relapse after a period of time and it will not be able to cure it."
Many patients in the application of ointment is also a special place to take care of itching, "no time to worry about" the area without the disease. Experts explained that fungal infections often show a ring-like spread. Clinically, many patients do not appear to have the appearance of peeling and redness. However, after examination, it has been confirmed that they have been infected by fungi. Therefore, the correct method is to apply cream to the toes, toes, soles of the feet, and the sides of the feet. â– Itchy feet are not necessarily athlete's foot Do not use eczema as athlete's foot
Liu Le reminded everyone to insist on using warm water to wash their feet every day and penetrate good shoes and socks to keep their feet dry. At night, the shoes can be placed in a ventilated area, and desiccants can also be used to keep the shoes dry. Use footbaths, towels, and socks used by athletes and patients, it is easy to get tetany, and people who wear soccer shoes and airtight rubber shoes are prone to foot ache.
If someone in the family suffers from athlete's foot, shoes that are contaminated with fungus can easily multiply the fungus in a dark, unventilated shoe. Scraps scattered in shoe cupboards also carry a lot of fungus. Clean shoes can be contaminated with dandruff and contaminated by nearby "dirty shoes." Therefore, the shoe cabinet should also be often ventilated, airing, scrub regularly with disinfectant, or put desiccant to remove moisture. "Effective patients in clinical practice mistake eczema as beriberi, and symptoms do not reduce but cause more secondary diseases." Liu Bin, chief dermatologist of Xijing Hospital, reminds that eczema is a common epidermis caused by a variety of internal and external factors. In the dermis and superficial dermatoses, the symptoms of foot eczema are erythema, papules, blisters, exudate, scab, desquamation, etc., and are very similar to those of athlete's foot (beriberi). Therefore, many people will treat eczema as beriberi, and blindly treat them with some ointment that cures athlete's foot. This has no effect. "So, if there is any discomfort on the skin on the foot, first go to a dermatology clinic to perform a fungal smear test and diagnose the type of bacteria that is infected before proceeding."
